Islami Chhatra Shibir held a protest march in Dhaka on Monday afternoon, denouncing what it called a conspiracy to obstruct the Shahjalal University of Science and Technology Central Students’ Union (SakSU) election. The march, organized by the group’s Dhaka Metropolitan unit, began at the Central Shaheed Minar and proceeded toward Shahbagh. Leaders including Daksu Vice President Sadiq Kayem and central publicity secretary Azizur Rahman Azad led the demonstration, demanding that the election be held on schedule.

Earlier in the day, Shibir’s central president Nurul Islam Saddam told a press conference at the organization’s Purana Paltan office that students would not accept any attempt to derail the election using political or legal means. He warned of continuous protest programs if the election was canceled. Meanwhile, BNP-leaning teachers at SUST announced they would refrain from participating in election duties, citing concerns over potential allegations.

According to the report, the High Court has postponed the SakSU election for four weeks. The vote was originally scheduled for January 20, 2026.
